[Sponsor] WorkOS Pipes: Ship Third-Party Integrations Without Rebuilding OAuth

workos.com/docs/pipes?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q12026&utm_content=no_rebuild

Connecting user accounts to third-party APIs always comes with the same plumbing: OAuth flows, token storage, refresh logic, and provider-specific quirks.

WorkOS Pipes removes that overhead. Users connect services like GitHub, Slack, Google, Salesforce, and other supported providers through a drop-in widget. Your backend requests a valid access token from the Pipes API when needed, while Pipes handles credential storage and token refresh.

Simplify integrations with WorkOS Pipes.
